THE MORNING OREGOXIAN, SATURDAY. MAY 29, 1920 7 coHom SETS NEW RECORD Big Attendance at Cattle and Horse Raisers' Meeting. CITY PROVES HOSPITABLE AUliouglit Taxed to Capacity by Crowd, Houses Are Opened and 00 One Lacks for Care. ' BY ADDISON BENNETT. BURNS. Or.. May 28. (Special.) The Cattle and Horse Raisers' asso ciation's two-day session has drawn to a close, and it can be said certain ly that this seventh annual meeting set a record for the attendance of both members and the public. The meetings of the day were held in the movie theater, presided over by Julian Byrd, editor and proprietor of the Times-Herald, the oldest news paper in Harney county. When Presi dent Pollman called the members to order Monday morning every seat in the auditorium was filled, all of the officials were on the stage, and the lobby was packed out to the sidewalk, and yet the streets were crowded with visitors and members, the latter being recognizable from the badges of mem bership they wore. The number in attendance at both the Monday morning and afternoon sessions was perhaps 350, all that could get In the hall and lobby; and the number was kept up all day. waiting members entering as fast as seats were vacated. Scores of Machines Seen. The members and visitors began to pour into Burns by automobiles, buggies and on horseback Sunday by noon. Looking out over the great Harney valley from the highest point in town shortly after my arrival, about 3 P. M.. dozens and scores of machines could be seen coming from eyery point of the compass. By night fall there was not room to park an other auto on the main street or for the first block and the cross streets, and every garage was full. There were by dusk some 50 machines in town. Remember now that Burns is town of about 1250 people, probably less rather than more. -So from Sun day nocm to Sunday night the popu lation more than - doubled. Hesitate a moment and consider what would happen in Portland if between noon and nightfall some fair spring day 258.000 visitors were to arrive, or suppose 15,000 guests in the same length of time were to fall like lo custs into the city of Salem. The merchants of Burns drew upon Boise for several carloads of gasoline and it sold at the old price of 4 cents a gallon, which is about equal to 27 cents in Portland. Food Not Scarce. There was no shortage of good food or of beds. The regular restaurants and hotels were of course overflow ing, most every private bouse had from one to half a dozen guests, the ranch houses within a radius of dozen miles housed and fed their guests, while the ladies of Burns took possession of a big garage, put up tables and seats for 380 guests and served better food than the average hotel. As for beds, the general com mittee obtained a few hundred cots and placed them in every available place in town. Nobody lacked good accommodations. Never before did the association have a more representative meeting. There were cattle and horse growers from every nook and corner of east ern Oregon. Wallowa sent its quota. Baker of course was largely repre sented, so was Union, Grant, Wheeler and Malheur counties. I am not so sure about Hood River, Sherman and Gilliam counties, but Morrow was well represented, also Wasco. Jeffer son. Deschutes. Crook and Klamath counties, while many came from Lake, and almost all of the counties along the western slope of the Cascades were represented. Yes, it was a rep resentative meeting, enough being present to fill a hall of a thousand seats. Late Member Eulogised. One of the features Monday was that of an eulogy to one of its earliest and most enthusiastic members, the late Bernard Daly of Lakeview. After a brief address the audtence stood mute with bowed heads in his memory. The visitors came from abroad in several ways. Some from Prineville and Lakeview direct by autos. Many from Bend. 150 miles to the west, a large number by train to Crane, then by auto 30 miles. A number of ma chines came from Baker, via SUmpter, Prairie City, John Day and Canyon City. I cunie by that route with William I'ollman. S. O. Correll. Will iam Duby. Henry Sonnemeyer and George C. McMullen. The three form er are respectively president, secre , tary and treasurer of the association. Mr. Correll came in his own ma chine and was accompany by Mrs. Correll. Miss Kdna Correll and Mrs. Rhcne Unegge. We left Baker about 11 o'clock Saturday morning and pulled up at the Biggs hotel in Can yon City, 86 miles from Baker, about 4 P. M. Mrs. McCorkle. owner of the BiKgs, gave us splendid treatment, and we left Sunday for Burns, 70 miles away. We made that run in less than five hours. Taking the whole trip of 150 miles the running time was about nine hours and over five mountains! passenger agent of the Southern Pa cific company, who Is chairman of the I association, announced that the next I meeting will convene July 9 in Port- land.

The cheese in every vat is test ed before it leaves the kitchens and unless the highest standard is reached, Tillamook is not placed on the rind. Tillamook is so good in flavor because of its creamy richness. It is high in food value and will reduce the cost of living materially if substituted for meats and eggs on your menus. Five quarts of full cream milk are used in making a pound of Tillamook Cheese. Delicious souffles, egg omelettes, pota toes, macaroni and cheese and other every day dishes will be improved by the use of Tillamook. Cheese and melted Tillamook Cheese on toast oh, how good! The best grocers everywhere sell Tillamook Cheese by the slice or in 6 and 14 pound sizes.
